Anthropometric characteristics

In summary, there are characteristics associated with age which can increase the possibility of an accident. For example, the anthropometric characteristics of youth and adults are different, and machinery may well have been designed to... 

Characteristics of The Subjects. Seventy-two subjects with SCD (34 boys and 38 girls) and 68 healthy controls (34 boys and 34 girls) were enrolled in the study. The anthropometric characteristics of the subjects are summarized in Table 1. Although the SCD subjects and controls were matched for age, there were significant differences in all of the anthropometric characteristics between the boys with SCD and controls. The boys who had SCD were stunted and underweight and had lower BMI values than the controls. In addition, their mean FFM was greatly reduced. Similar results were obtained for the girls, with the exception of BMI (Table 1).

The impact of BH4 treatment on phenylalanine tolerance, medical food consumption, and nutrition status in six PKU children, 5-12 years of age, was assessed over a 2-year period. Mean dietary phenylalanine tolerance increased from 421 128 to 1470 455 mg/day resulting in greater intakes of intact protein and less medical food protein. Height z-scores significantly improved from 0.25 0.99 at baseline to 0.53 1.16at2 years (p for trend<0.001) [21], In another retrospective longitudinal study, anthropometric characteristics were reported on a cohort of 38 PKU patients on BH4 and/or phenylalanine-restricted diets as compared to 76... 

In order to validate the proposed BIA system, two healthy male white subjects were assessed. Table 1 shows the anthropometric characteristics of the subjects, as well as the measured impedance values and the literature ones based on the predictive equations 1 and 2. 

Basic anthropometric characteristics of the study group are shown in Table 1, with ( ) showing a statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between boys and girls for a given age. 

The main objective of anthropometric database is to describe the physical measurements of students in a higher education institution in Kuala Lumpur. The anthropometric characteristic of a population varies with respect to ethnicity, demographic characteristics and other associated factors. For example, the Japanese are generally smaller than American in terms of body dimensions. Therefore, the body measurement or the anthropometric database built by the Americans is not suitable to use by the Japanese [3], The following are the objectives of the study -...

In both GIDAS and PCDS, additional variables were computed from existing ones squared impact speed of the vehicle (to account for possible non-linearities between impact speed and injury severity), kinetic energy of the vehicle, and body mass index (BMI) of the pedestrian. Ratios between anthropometric values and vehicle dimensions were also constructed. Since only basic vehicle profile characteristics were coded in GIDAS, additional data sources were used to reconstruct some of these characteristics for the purpose of analysis (see Sect. 5.2.4). The notation GIDAS and PCDS used for labeling the variables refers to the original data set.
